Chapter Seventy-Four: What Beast?
Lu Yu suggested that Fang Daping could unite with other surrounding villages to deal with and resist the bandits together.
Fang Daping felt that Lu Yu's suggestion was reasonable, and said that he could go to other villages to discuss with them.
Early the next morning, Lu Yu went to the green valley in the mountains to set up the teleportation array. The most important thing for Lu Yu to do now is to step up the arrangement of the teleportation array, and it will be very convenient to enter and exit the valley at that time. Lu Yu thought that if the natural disaster continued next year, he would reclaim paddy fields in the green valley and plant a few acres of rice. Moreover, Lu Yu was afraid that the world would be more difficult, and if the world really became purgatory, some relatives and friends could be placed in the valley.
Lu Yu sincerely hopes that there will never be such a day.
After staying in the valley for three days, Lu Yu went home from the valley, saw that the village was calm, rested for a day, and entered the valley again. Yan Xi'an's sister and brother must have been arguing to go in together, but Lu Yu said that he didn't agree to anything.
By the end of September, the teleportation array was halfway set up, and the weather was already slightly cold.
On this day, Lu Yu was turning the ground in the backyard, and Lao Gao came over and asked Lu Yu if he wanted to go up the mountain to hunt tomorrow.
Lu Yu asked Lao Gao: "Is there any prey on the mountain?" ”
"Yes, someone picked up a dead boar in the mountains yesterday."
Lu Yu was curious: "Dead boar? What the hell? ”
Lao Gao said that he was bitten to death, and Lu Yu felt even more strange: "Is there another tiger?" ”
"Well, if it weren't for a tiger, what beast would have killed a boar."
Lu Yu didn't care about tigers and beasts, but except for Lu Yu, no one was afraid of tigers. Lu Yu discussed with Lao Gao and decided to enter the mountain tomorrow, Lu Di also went, his daughter was eight or nine months old, and his daughter-in-law could take care of her alone now.
As for Yan Xi'an's sister and brother, they had to quarrel to go up the mountain together. Lu Yu originally planned to take only one of the sisters and brothers into the mountain, but neither of the two little guys agreed to stay at home and resolutely disagreed.
So the next day, when I entered the mountain, there were five people in total.
After the rain in August, the weather has been fine, the sun is not so hot, and the weather is only slightly cooler. The mountains are full of life, everything is recovering, flowers and trees are alive a lot, and insects and birds are also singing one after another.
Not long after entering the mountain, Lu Yu found a nest of rabbits. The five of them thought this was a good sign, and they didn't care about the rabbits, and they were full of ambition to think that they must do a big job today and try to hunt more prey.
But until noon, several people found nothing, except for Yan Xiding, the other four people were also accustomed to it.
Yan Xi must have officially entered the mountains to hunt with Lu Yu for the first time, and he chattered all the way about Lu Yu and the three of them, the various precautions needed for hunting, and their previous hunting experiences.
After eating dry food at noon, the five of them went into the mountains a little more, and discussed that when it came to Shen, whether there was a harvest or not, they would return to the village.
Yan Xi'an followed Lu Yu closely all the way, but today she had very few words. Lu Yu also felt strange, and quietly asked Yan Xi'an if he was a little unhappy today.
Yan Xi'an said: "Uncle, if you hit the prey today, will you sell it to that young lady?" ”
"Fang Huaru?" Lu Yu said with a smile: "I almost forgot about this, Xi'an said that if you don't sell it, you won't sell it." ”
Yan Xi'an shook his head and said, "Forget it, if you really hit the wild boar, the young lady really wants to buy it, you should sell it to her." ”
"Why?"
Yan Xi'an glanced at him and said, "I'm not stingy. ”
Lu Yu laughed: "If you really hunt a wild boar, then sell her a little." ”
"Well, let's give it away, don't sell it."
Lu Yu was even more curious: "Why is this?" ”
Yan Xi'an said: "We are not short of money, and besides, the young lady is your good friend, and you are embarrassed to accept money." ”
"Not a good friend...... Ordinary friends. ”
"Uncle, who are your good friends?"
Lu Yu pointed to Lao Gao and Lu Di in front of him and said, "The two of them, as well as Xiding and you." ”
"Really?" Yan Xi'an had no expression on his face and said, "Uncle, are you a good friend to me?" ”
Lu Yu hesitated for a moment and thought, "Of course I don't want you to just be my 'good friend'. After thinking about it, Lu Yu said, "Xi'an, did you say that Uncle Da Yu is your good friend?" ”
"I don't know, my former best friends were all in the city, and I haven't seen them in a long time now." Yan Xi'an suddenly grabbed Lu Yu's sleeve, looked at Lu Yu, and whispered, "Uncle, I ......"
Yan Xi'an's words didn't come out of his mouth, and at this time, the five of them heard the roar of a wild beast at the same time, except for Yan Xiding, they all heard the sound of a wild boar neighing. The scream was terrible and painful, and Lu Yu and the others were all in a daze, and they couldn't help but think that the only thing that could make the wild boar scream so miserable was the tiger.
Lu Yu asked Lao Gao Lu Di to go up the tree, and then threw Yan Xiding on a big tree, and then asked Yan Xi to install the tree, but she refused.
Yan Xi'an asked Lu Yu: "What about you, are you going to fight tigers?" ”
Lu Yu said: "I'll take a look, Xi'an, you guys are waiting here, don't worry about me." At this time, Yan Xi was on the tree and kept urging her sister to hurry up.
Yan Xi'an hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Then you be careful." ”
Lu Yu carried Yan Xi'an, flew up to a big tree, and asked her and Yan Xiding to sit side by side on a thick branch, and Lu Yu jumped down by himself.
At this time, the boar's neighing came again, but this time it was much weaker, and it seemed that the boar was about to die soon.
Lu Yu carried a kitchen knife and followed the roar of the wild boar for a few steps, and suddenly thought: "Why did you only hear the scream of the wild boar and not the howling of the tiger, could it be that this is a tiger that can't bark?" ”
Regardless of whether the tiger barks or not, Lu Yu doesn't pay much attention to it, a long time ago he was able to kill a tiger alone, and now his cultivation has broken through twice, if he encounters a tiger again, Lu Yu will kill it more easily.
Lowering his pace, Lu Yu touched the wild boar little by little. After walking dozens of feet and passing through a low bush, Lu Yu saw a fat wild boar lying motionless on the ground.
But the strange thing is that the tiger that bit the wild boar was not seen.
Lu Yu was very puzzled, stood up and looked around, it was true that he didn't see a tiger, and listened carefully, there seemed to be no movement of large beasts within a few miles around.
Lu Yu looked at the wild boar on the ground again, and the wild boar had a lot of wounds, especially a big wound in the throat, which was gurgling out of blood. Lu Yu couldn't recognize whether the wound was bitten by a tiger, thought about it, and went to call Lao Gao and a few of them over.
Lao Gao and a few people were also shocked when they saw the wild boar that was bitten to death. Lu Yu asked Lao Gao, was this wild boar bitten to death by a tiger? Lu Yu felt strange when he saw the dead wild boar, if he was really bitten to death by a tiger, why could the carcass of a wild boar be intact, and the tiger bit the wild boar to death but did not eat meat?
Lao Gao carefully looked at the wounds on the boar's body, and then said, "This was not killed by a tiger's bite. ”
Yan Xi must have never seen a tiger, and he asked, "How can you see that this wild boar was not bitten to death by a tiger?" Lu Yu is the same, I want to know how Lao Gao can see it.
Lao Gao said: "I don't know what the prey that the tiger bites to death looks like, but it's certainly not like this." Lao Gao pointed to a wound on the boar's body and continued: "You see, this wound looks like it has been sawn, and the tiger's teeth are long and sharp, and the wound of the prey that bites it to death is certainly not like this. ”
Lu Di asked: "It's not a tiger, what kind of beast will it be?" ”
"I don't know." After all, Lao Gao is not a professional hunter, and he can't tell that the wild boar was bitten to death by some wild beast.
But anyway, a few people harvested a wild boar today, which is a great thing.
carried the wild boar back and divided the wild boar into three parts at Lao Gao's house. Lao Gao means that there are five people in total, and it is best to divide five shares, and Yan Xi'an sisters and brothers should also get a share.
Lu Yu smiled and asked Yan Xi'an, how to divide it.
Yan Xi'an said: "Of course, it is divided into three parts, Xiding and I are both going to play." ”
Yan Xiding also said: "That is, if I also share the meat, you will definitely not take me hunting next time." ”
A wild boar is more than 100 catties of meat, divided into three parts, and Lu Yu gets about 40 catties. However, Lao Gao gave most of the launching to Lu Yu, although Lu Yu did not contribute more to this hunting, but in the past, Lu Yu contributed the most every time he hunted. And Lao Gao thinks that Lu Yu's family has a lot of population now, and it is just right to share him a little more.
As soon as he got home, Yan Xi'an urged Lu Yu to cut off a piece of pork and said that he would give it to Miss Fang Huaru.
Lu Yu laughed and asked Yan Xi'an: "Why are you so active in sending meat to Fang Huaru?" ”
Yan Xi'an said: "I'm not stingy, she's not your friend." ”
"Okay, I'll cut a piece and let Xiding send it over."
Yan Xiding was on the side, and immediately shook his head: "Why let me go, I don't agree to divide it." ”
Lu Yu didn't want to go, he didn't know why, he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Fang Huaru. In the end, it was easy to say that Yan Xiding carried a piece of pork weighing more than three catties and sent it to Fang Huaru's house.
When Xiding came back, he brought back a package, saying that it was given to Lu Yu by Fang Huaru.
Inside the package was a blouse, cut from cyan cotton, Lu Yu took a look, the clothes were very finely made, with stitches and stitches, tight and strong.
Lu Yu didn't try on the top, Yan Xi'an Zezai looked at it carefully, and said to Lu Yu: "Uncle, this dress is very good, why don't you wear it and try it?" ”
"I don't try, and I don't lack clothes." Lu Yu originally wanted Yan Xiding to return the clothes again, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that it seemed a little inappropriate, so he didn't speak.
Yan Xi'an put down his clothes and asked Lu Yu: "Do girls have to learn to cut female red?" ”
"Of course, how can there be a girl's family like you, clamoring to go up to the mountains to hunt all day long." Yan Jibai walked over, looked at the clothes given by Fang Huaru, and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, this Fang girl is very good to you." ”
Lu Yu shook his head and smiled: "Brother Yan said that he was laughing. ”
Yan Xi'an glanced at Lu Yu, then at the clothes, pouted, and turned to the backyard.
